You need to follow these instructions: Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac - Apple Support

Just prior to Step 4, you need to select the View menu > Show All Devices. Then, you need to select the internal storage device. "Device" in this context means a hardware component with an immutable name such as "APPLE SSD... MEDIA".

That's what you need to select, and erase.
